Rich Pie Pastry

1. 1

   Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl.

2. 2

   Cut the butter into the flour using your fingertips or a pastry blender (or pulse in a food processor) until the texture resembles coarse meal with visible bits of butter.

3. 3

   Stir the egg into the flour mixture and stir or pulse until incorporated.

4. 4

   Pinch off a small handful of dough; if it doesnt hold together, add ice water 1/2 tablespoon at a time, stirring or pulsing after each addition.

5. 5

   Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and pat into a disk about 1/2-inch thick.

6. 6

   Wrap the disk in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.
